Fotograf Hiram Trillo

—Ste fotogenický?

—Nope...that's why I try to stand behind the camera :)

—Ako ste sa dostali do fotografického priemyslu?

—I have been in photography for a while, but took the leap to wedding photography after being terribly disappointed with out own wedding imagery.

—Aké sú podľa vás najdôležitejšie súčasti dobrej fotografie?

—Emotion! An image without soul and feeling is an empty image.

—Máte radi cestovanie?

—Yes! I am lucky enough to be able to travel all over the world capturing memories for other.

—Čo máte najradšej na vašej profesii?

—The range of people I get to meet, and the love displayed across cultures.

—Čo sa vám páči najmenej na vašej profesii?

—Traveling without my family! Now that I am a father it's tough leaving my family for days. But I have an amazing wife that is my rock and cheerleader.

—Aká bude budúcnosť fotenia?

—I don't know and that is what I love about it. Having to discover myself and push myself each wedding is an amazing feeling and hope that I keep pushing forward.

—Čo je výnimočné na žánri fotografií, na ktorý sa špecializujete?

—You have one shot! That is it! I love capturing moments as they happen and don't recreate any, so I have one shot.

—Ako zvládate kritiku?

—I think well. You have to, no one is perfect and the only way to keep learning and pushing yourself is by listening and paying attention. There will always be "hater" and people that will try to pull you down. Just keep your head up and your client happy.

—Sú nejaké trendy v oblasti fotografie?

—Yes, there are always trends and they change all the time. I try not to follow them because most trends die out. I focus on giving my clients timeless pieces with the next generation in mind. I want their children and grandchildren to cherish the images as much as they do.

—Aké by mal mať zákazník kritérium pri výbere fotografa?

—You must click! You have to have chemistry. Not every client is your client and when you figure that out you will develop amazing client relationships and long time friends.

—Čomu sa určite vyhnúť pri práci?

—It's free game with me, I want to see the crazy side of my clients. That's when i know they trust me completely.

—Aké detaily, ktoré zvyčajne prejdú bez povšimnutia, si môže fotograf všimnúť?

—That's a tough one. I have seen many things in my career so far but try to document everything. The behind the scenes before the bride and groom step up to the altar are some of my favorite moments

—Čo ovplyvňuje hodnotu fotografie? Aké sú jej prvky?

—To me is emotion! Like I mentioned before an images must have feeling and soul.

—Ktorá osoba môže byť podľa vás symbolom 21. storočia?

—I have no idea. There are a ton of inspirational people around the world, selecting only one would be a disgrace.

—Koho chcete fotografovať?

—Everything!

—Máte nejaké profesionálne tabu?

—Drugs! It's the only thing that I really don't care to be around.

—S kým by ste chceli fotografovať?

—Robert Capa, James Nachtwey, Annie Leibovitz, Richard Avedon, Arturo Ghergo, Gregory Crewdson...

—Čoho sa obávate a prečo?

—Before every wedding I tell myself "You are capturing the most important day of two peoples' lives...don't screw up"

—Aký bol váš najpôsobivejší okamih v živote?

—The day I got married, followed by the birth of my kids.

—Ak by ste boli animovaná, literárna alebo filmová postava, kto by ste boli a prečo?

—Batman! Because I am a comic book geek and Batman has always been one of my favorites.

—Kto vás vo vašom živote inšpiruje a prečo?

—My wife and kids. They are the first thing I see in the morning and the last thing before i go to sleep. They keep me on my toes!

—Ako definujete úspech? Ako ho meriate?

—If you are happy and can keep your head up you are successful. Seeing my kids grow up and having my family be proud of not only who I am but who they are as people.

—Boli by ste radšej obľúbení alebo rešpektovaní?

—Respected. I rather have someone dislike me because I was honest with them, than being liked because I wasn't.

—Aká je najväčšia chyba, ktorú ste kedy v práci urobili?

—I accidentally formatted a full card thinking it was an old cart. Realized it in time and just put it away and recovered about 98% of images...phew!

—Keď cestujete, čo si so sebou beriete a prečo?

—Camera, favorite lenses, speed lights, and the stuffed animal my kids send with me. A flash will always be with me because you never know when you need to create your own light.

—Existuje niečo, čo by ste si boli radšej nekúpili zo zariadení, ktoré vlastníte? Prečo?

—At the beginning I had nothing but gadgets and regretted it every time. Now I have only what I need.

—Practice and doing personal projects in different situations.

—Mali byť vaši rodičia menej alebo viac prísni?

—Ak by ste sa mohli vrátiť v čase, čo by ste urobili inak?

—Not a thing. Every decision I made has brought me to where I am. I would not take a chance of changing anything.

—Čo tak život na druhých planétach?

—I hope there is. It would be selfish of us to think we are the only planet with life. That is just lonely!

—Kto sú vaši hrdinovia?

—The people that wake up everyday to do what they can to survive day after day. The men and women who do everything possible to make sure their children have a better life and the people that risk their safety for others as cliche as that sounds.

—Of course! I think a new life begins, and it's amazing.

—Máte obľúbený vtip? Povedzte nám ho.
